Setting up a high street store can be more complicated than it seems. Above everything you need a well structured plan of action. Assuming that you have a good plan of action and have done all the researching and have the funding needed to set up your shop here is a check list that will aid you with one of the most important sections of your shop, the shop fittings and display units.After premises and stock buying, shop fittings represent one of the biggest slices in the expenditure pie when setting up a new high street shop. The check list below will help you avoid some common mistakes as well as choose the right fixtures for your shop. 1. Have I found a premise?First and foremost you need a well located premise for your shop. No good setting up a stunning shop where nobody can see it or find it. I know that establishments in very busy streets have high rental prices but that will be money well spent.2. Do I have existing floor plans?Now that you found the ideal place for your shop it is time to make you floor plan. Where will be the counter be, aisles, shelves displays, etc. Might be a good idea to ask for professional help here, like hiring an interior designer or decorator specialised in stores and shop interior designs.3. What will the shops branding / colours be?Choose the style and colours of your shop fittings based on the colours of you brand/shop. There are many shop fixture manufacturers these days that can create fittings and displays according to your requirements. Some of the most popular shop fittings manufacturers are Tegometall, CAEM and KLEEREX and you can find them on all major shop fittings suppliers across the country.4. What work needs to be conducted to the shop front?Again depending on the type of shop that you are setting up, you will need to make some changes to the shop front. Sports shops need to reflect action and movement, a beds shop needs to pass calm and tranquillity and so on, you got the picture, right?5. Will I need to alter the shop usage?Once again depending on the type of shop you will have to alter its usage but there is one rule that suits all shop, accessibility. A shop needs to have easy access for your target audience as well as for disabled people. Displays settings also should be considered when thinking of your shop&#;s usage. 6. What display shop fittings will I require?I hate to sound repetitive but, this is also related to the type of shop you are setting up.7. What is my budget?The biggest villain in all start ups, the budget. With money everything is made easy but how to start up a good shop with a tight budget? As afore mentioned shop fittings represent a big slice in the expenditure pie of a shop so make sure you reserve some extra cash for it.8. What are my timescales for the shop fit?This is entirely up to you and your shop fitter to decide.9. Where to find good shop fitters?Ask your shop fitting supplier or use this site www.findashopfitter.co.uk/ here you can find shop fitters for just about any major city in the UK.10. Have I got a quote from a shop fittings company?Like mentioned in check list number 7, before you go out buying shop fittings left right and centre, do some research to compare prices. Get a quote from at least two shop fittings companies and suppliers.Once you have the answers for all those questions you are on the clear to start your new shop.
You can be inspired by looking through our portfolio & projects page and noting projects or the elements you find inspiring to give our designers a barometer of your requirements & likes. Or we can share our 34 years&#; experience and expertise to create a bespoke shop fit out by listening, working closely with you and taking you through the process step by step. We will produce plan layouts, elevations, mood boards, 3D models & walkthrough videos to illustrate & realise your vision.
Retail & shop design & fit out projects are all individual & bespoke to each client and space / area so it&#;s quite difficult to give a typical cost. Considerations include whether the building is Listed, and or how accessible it is for deliveries and working hours allowed as there are restrictions if your unit is within a shopping centre
These changes in cost occur due to the time, nature of the changes, materials used and the sub-consultants involvement in the project.
Although each project is unique, a retail fit out will generally involve these 10 stages:

It is possible to plan & manage your refurbishment yourself though in most cases companies choose to work with an office interiors company or architect that will take on the project management role for the entire fit out process. This will include liaising with other specialists, consultants & sub-contractors, for example Structural, Mechanical & Electrical Engineers. We have an in-house mechanical & electrical team which also includes lighting designers. We have accounts with all major suppliers of shopfitting displays, slatwall panelling and our own workshop for bespoke solutions. We provide a 1 stop shop turnkey service for delivering your shop fit / refurbishment project.
For managing yourself we recommend that you employ an interior designer / space planner. To then employ a mechanical & electrical consultant or company to design and tender for the project. If you employ a consultant, you will have an independent specification you can send out to three electrical & mechanical companies for best costs. Analysis of tenders can be complicated if you are not conversant with trade terms and it&#;s not necessarily the cheapest that is the best. You could employ a quantity surveyor to prepare the scope and tenders. With the designer / architect, M&E consultant, quantity surveyor you are adding layers of cost that in some cases are all included in the services of a reputable Interiors fit out company.
At Select Interiors Ltd we provide our clients with a schedule of the work included in the fit out and a plan for how the works will affect your company day-to-day. We have a client log in for progress updates and images posted weekly. You can easily access drawings, programme and details of any variations that have arisen and real-time impact on total spend.
Alterations to a building may require building regulations approval to ensure compliance. A competent retail design and fit out company like Select Interiors Ltd
Select Interiors will take care of this aspect for you and can submit plans and manage visits by Building Inspector to sign off & certification on your behalf.
This will depend on the scope of an individual project but most projects will include some alterations / additions to M&E (mechanical and electric) services. These services include air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, heating and power in general. As part of the service from Select Interiors Ltd, we ensure compliance in this regards by working with Part P qualified electricians to ensure electrical contractors are competent and qualified. Our Mechanical Engineer can design systems to ensure that your unit is heated, cooled and ventilated for comfort and to comply with Building Regulations
Your shopfitter, architect or independent designer will be able to design the plan layout and specify the finishing touches to your fit out for you. Our in-house designer (or your Architect / Independent Designer) will work with you the client to design a scheme that will help reflect your company&#;s brand, improve the journey for your customers , be well lit, ventilated, highly functional and beautifully designed shop that attracts customers and be future-proof so it can grow with your business.
